<p>Has Penn released the number of RD apps they got yet?? and does this number include those deferred from ED??</p>
<p>from what i know…i dont think they have. i dont even think they have finished sorting through all the apps yet</p>
<p>Maybe there is so much, they can’t ever finish counting ;(</p>
<p>no. their ED apps went down and they were extremely slow then as well.</p>
<p>All these announcements are just ways of publicizing the school for the next batch of applicants. Penn is either waiting for maximum impact of announcing an acceptance rate decrease or stalling and hoping no one will notice when they say the admissions rate will remain stagnant or increase.</p>
